RE: enlightenment?
How much does it matter, the corp.s have the power.
OK I normally vote apathy - they are all the same wanting to hold the conch, professional politicians come in second oldest behind the pro's. MY PROBLEM is morality. These guys are our moral leaders yet they are deffinately the least morally strong, eg - they have a belief - perhaps it started their pilgrimage. So the fire is there, the choice of party may be open but probably (like faith) they move to tune of their upbringing AND (probably) toward parties already with power. What they do there? bend, bend their belief to the party line, loosing their moral position at the first vote, becomeing sheep to the whips.
Professional politician, relative advantage can be achieved (possibly more so) by reducing the competition than building the self.
I know I have to begin to understand that my 1 vote is exactly the same as everyone elses and makes a difference but still I think that they are corrupt, using increasingly eficient levers to manipulate toward... - that's where it gets too big for me to think about.
arrrgh can't do nothing must do something, for just 1 teeny vote. Research your vote when everything is spin, liars gambol in the fields, a system builds to divert us and replace bastions of honour
A BIG ONE. Bread and circuses, we have the most advanced circus development ever hedonism technologyvaleys full of it, enticing women queueing to fill it, - forgive me for saying but all of this is a diversion - not dfrom any 'true wayTM' but the difference between what you do in 1 night depending on weather you have a TV or not. The opporunities for tech entertainment to take the energy right out of you is HUGE man, - where is the social in that. Divide and rule, "Oh yeah JIm and I like to spend the evening together in front of the TV...Kids, no time really what with Jims job and my cats"
No 'true way, no true way, no true way" I am corrupt
